So I was flipping channels last night, and 20/20 was doing a segment on Nigerian scams. Among other things, they showed a heart surgeon who spent several hundred thousand dollars for cleaning "black money" - that is, money that had supposedly been dyed black for smuggling purposes, but in fact was a briefcase of construction paper. Wow.
At one point, though, the host mentioned that these kind of scams have become well commented on in Nigerian pop culture, and then showed a snippet of a Nigerian musical video entitled "I Go Chop Your Dollar," featuring dramatizations of dudes getting scammed.
Here is a link to a Youtube video of the song. Not too many great screen caps, here's one:
About a minute and a half into the video is pretty representative:
"I go chop your dollar
I go take your money ???
419 is ????
You are the loser, I am the winner."
The song is pretty catchy. I've been burning with an urge to start saying this to people at the poker tables.
